Someone Knew….
Stoopid Hoomans (snort!)
This article was written as a forecast that the CV19 shut down would (and did) result in social discord, economic losses, and basic harm to all economies.
And what have we been seeing lately? Less chaos? Less destruction? Less criminal activity overall? I don’t think so. If anything, it’s gotten worse.

From the article:
A groundbreaking new study commissioned by Revolver News concludes that COVID-19 lockdowns are ten times more deadly than the actual COVID-19 virus in terms of years of life lost by American citizens.
Up until this point there had been no simple, rigorous analysis that accurately and definitively conveys the true costs of the COVID-19 lockdowns. Accordingly, Revolver News set out to commission a study to do precisely that: to finally quantify the net damage of the lockdowns in terms of a metric known as “life-years.” Simply put, we have drawn upon existing economic studies on the health effects of unemployment to calculate an estimate of how many years of life will have been lost due to the lockdowns in the United States, and have weighed this against an estimate of how many years of life will have been saved by the lockdowns. The results are nothing short of staggering, and suggest that the lockdowns will end up costing Americans over 10 times as many years of life as they will save from the virus itself.
Democrat Presidential candidate Joe Biden, by contrast, has suggested that he is willing to impose further lockdowns if “scientists” tell him to do so. It is unclear which scientists Joe Biden would be listening to, as there is no consensus among scientists and experts as to whether or not lockdowns are worth the staggering costs they impose on the common man. – article
The reasoning behind this forecast is valid. Written before the pandemic became a “thing”, the economic losses and troublemakers with nothing to do causing damage were valid projections. And what have we been seeing? Scroll down to the “Cheat Sheet” title, which is the start of the study itself. It is enlightening.

Thanks, Democrats!!
Lawd halp, I can’t believe that I read the whole thing. What a word salad of mumbo jumbo. Lies, damn lies, and statistics. Throw in some charts, graphs, and spread sheet projections plus the fact of the empirical research, you would think that I am totally edumukayted by now. Honey Hush and Child Pool-eeze! One thing that it did make clear is this was a deliberate attack on us and NOBODY was qualified to give any straight advise on how to fix it. It does seem odd, that a lot of the verbage and buzz words used by all of the “experts” seemed to be ready to roll out almost immediately. Example being the whole “Social Distancing.” One day it had never been used in a sentence, the next day, every politician and his/her advisor was using it. Almost like the whole thing was planned from the beginning. /s/ I’ve already whined about how this thing screwed up a perfectly long planned road trip of a lifetime for me. I have sympathies for the many people it affected with health, job, divorce, and other disruptions to their lives. And the wasted time that we will never get back. And the deaths from this attack on us. Now as things try to move forward, do any of us know who to believe. Pull up a news feed from Fox or Bing and every other article is COVID this or COVID that. The latest is the bouncing around of the numbers on a vaccine. One expert saying it will be here next month, the next expert saying it is months, if not years, away. My opinion on that is if it has Bill Gates’ name tied to it, I’ll pass. So much of this is straight out of Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Novel where the multinational corporation developed the bug, a vaccine for the bug, and another shot for the general population that gave them the incurable bug. Trust no one…And the Truth is out there…some where. Now whether or not we will ever learn the truth…that’s a whole different skillet of… Read more »
Here’s some numbers from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (August)
Total nonfarm payroll employment rose by 1.4 million in August, and the unemployment rate fell to 8.4 percent.
On this morning’s news, the total number of unemplpoyed to date is 11 million, a distinct improvement from the original lockdown numbers.
Our numbers are better than they are in other countries.
This is despite the disturbing destruction in some cities, which seems to be on the verge of waning. Even the death of a man on PCP in Rochester, NY (probably choking, he wasn’t shot) drew only a small crowd in NYC’s Times Square in the rain.
Something is changing – sea change, if you will – and while the voting season is nearly upon us, the constant displays of destruction by the press will very likely have an influence on voters.
The guy who was killed in Portland, OR, was an instigator with what seems to be an unstable personality.
The donks will make whatever sacrifices of other people’s lives are necessary to secure more power.
Or, unnecessary ones. As long as they get the power, and more.
